Komrades, I liberated your "Che is Dead" concept, and displayed it for the glorious edification of the masses at the Gathering of Eagles III, in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 2007. A number of the proletariat asked, and I have advised them to visit your site. Check out Victory Caucus and you will see the People's sign (properly attributed) under the caption "My favorite sign."

Comrade Che will never be dead as long as he can be marketed to pampered, delusional, rich armchair radicals whose brains are permanently stuck in a Philip K. Dick-like alternative (non-digital) 1960s tape loop reality where they get to follow The Dead (aren't they dead too?) around the country, hitchhiking from love-in to concert to concert to love-in, remaining stoned at all times, loving everyone except those who dare disagree with them.

In the crowd, many veterans wore caps and insignias from their service in Vietnam, while others held signs such as "Che is Dead, Get Over It", "Traitors Go to Hell," and "Thank you, Vietnam Vets. You Saved My Family."

Check out the comments Dear Leader, I gave us a plug! Oh, and this is what I wrote at the Washington Post comment entry....

Well it sure doesn't take long for the kool aid drinking, conspiracy loving, defeat embracing crowd to comment here. Let's all just sing kumbayah and invite Al Queda over for some herbal tea, and I am sure they will forget all about the fact that they wish to kill each and every one of you infidels.

On the other hand, he is beginning to smell.

My understanding is that Che is still alive and rubbing his face onto thousands of tshirts, bags, and celebrity underwear on a daily basis. Each one like the shroud of Turin adorned with his sacred imprint, and wears his smudge and bears his smell. Ah, the blistering truth of ruddy buttoxed Communism!

This is a sad story comrades. I had a friend in the enlightened sixties who was truly enlightened. He was one of the first to proudly display his love for Che. When the rest of us got jobs and had families, he tried to show us the true path by not shaving, not working, carrying everything he owned in a back-pack, and deriding our capitalist lifestyles while he ate our food and slept on our couches. I lost touch with comrade "Mich" over the years, but was recently told by a fellow pig that he fell prey to the booj-wah mentality of disgusting materialism and is now selling life insurance. A sad end to a once enlightened profit of liberalism.

To be honest, I had seen a Che skull picture on the internet before, but then Laika suggested the slogan "Che is dead, get over it" - and the Groupthink Chip™ in my brain clicked and immediately directed me to get the new slogan and the old picture acquainted with each other and spend the rest of their lives together (the marriage metaphor is for Margaret who is single but adores romantic stories). I made my own image of the skull on Che's face, added Laika's slogan, and uploaded it to Cafepress.com to make some T-shirts.

Cafepress was quick to disable my image and related products using a far-fetched excuse. On 10/11/2005 I started an online war with Cafepress on the Cube which lasted for a few weeks, involving a lot of other internet players.

Comrade Che speaks for the masses! Just look at any institute of higher learning to see the Truth of this- besides, who needs the traditional opiate of the people when we have idealistic revisionary "socialismu" of our future (non-purgable) intelligentsia breaking down the outdated capitalistic construct of corruption?

I just came from the cafepress thread and went to see some of the other shirt sites... simply amazing, but I suppose the koolaid drinkers from CodePink, Answer etc have to have their garbage made somewhere. Saw one "Summer of Love 07." That really hit me since I have been saying for a long time that a lot of this is a bunch of aging hippies re-living their "glory" years.

Summer of Love 2007? Eewww... where the hell did that take place, because we need to firebomb it. I mean... We need to firebomb it because we can't have our useful idiots making <shudder> aged flabby love to each other, we need them out on the streets protesting during the weekdays when the opposition is *snicker* working. <laughs hysterically>

Just last night, for laughs I clicked on a link from Newsbusters to the Terra Pass website (where carbon offsets are peddled). They had a link to this same Cafe Press hawking Terra Pass T-shirts, etc.

The Terra Pass site is almost as funny as The People's Cube, but more incredible in the sense that I'm having a hard time believing people actually fall for this stuff. (Does that make me a denier?) At the risk of dating myself, while surfing this site I kept thinking of old Sesame Street episodes from my youth, where some shady fellow in a trench coat and hat conned Grover into buying a bottle of air for only a nickel.

According to Terra Pass's calculations for Pinkie's hovel and cart, that bottle of air costs a lot, lot more nowadays. But they insist it's supposed to make me feel good.

Oh, that Terra Pass site just warmed my heart Comrade! To see those little children so concerned about their impact on global warming.... brides concerned over their wedding gifts, oh, what a scam...er... sample of GoodThink™!

I for one have done my part by cutting back on my bean consumption by 10% which translates into roughly 4.7 tons of greenhouse gas reduction. I have been considering setting up my own site where concerned citizens can buy credits from me, which of course I will pass on to the Hillary. Yes, I can do far more to offset carbon dioxide and other vile gases... for a price of course.

Speaking of things... I really have to believe the proverbial Hillary is about to hit the fan... maybe not soon (remember how many experts said we were going to attack Iran this summer?), but in the next year or so. There were 2 news items that have received little notice, but they are very disturbing ITPHO.

Dad: Now that is enough, junior. That money is going into your future and we sure are lucky to have nice shady strangers selling empty boxes to combat Global Warming. Why, my dad would never pay that kind of money to stop the destruction of the planet, the cheap bastard. Now let's go inside and put some water in this box, son.

I say this is a much more accurate test of who's smarter and has better sense, than some convoluted, byzantine hooey where the guinea pigs are pecking at M's and W's on a keyboard. My Lenin in Kremlin!

Wait a fat minute here. I think I know where you're going with this. Does this have anything to do with one of those conspiracy theories I've heard--that the Bush Administration trained pigeons to fly jet airliners into skyscrapers all to boost W's poll numbers, and give him an excuse to invade Iraq and topple the peace-loving, kite-flying Saddam just to steal a few barrels of oil for rich Republicans' Hummers?

Why, I even heard the Bush Administration trained pigeons to disenfranchise Democrat voters in 2000 and 2004, and to "out" the wife of Joe "Now-That-You-Rightwing-Scumbags-Have-Outed-Her-We-May-As-Well- Make-The-Most-Of-Our-Fifteen-Minutes" Wilson.

Oh, and Monica's blue dress from the GAP? Our beloved Empress was darn tootin' about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Again, that stain was the work of pigeons trained by--yep, you guessed it--the Bush Administration (retroactively, of course).

The evil Bush Administration originally wanted to exploit the more intelligent dolphins, but noble creatures that they are (even the imperialist hatemonger Limbaugh said as much in his SITYS diatribe), they refused to be duped by the lies and machinations of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. The dolphins, you see, would vote Democrat if only the Bush camp didn't keep disenfranchising them.

Not to be deterred in its salivating thirst for world domination, the Bush Administration then turned to the pigeons, sensing a definitive kinship in the way they consistently and arbitrarily "bomb" innocent women and children and otherwise shit on everyone else.

Oh my, there you go being speciist again. Both dolphins and pigeons can go bad if brainwashed by the evil right wing. The only creature I have ever found to be consistently evil is the cat beast, but even their evil can be found on both sides. In fact, given that progressives believe that one should not have to earn their keep, I have found cat beasts to be even more prone to be Demoncats. Alas, by that same token, I am sad to report that most of my species tend to be working dog Repuplicans.

Pupovich, nyet! NOT THE DOLPHINS! Granted, dolphins have their weaknesses and faults just like anyone else, but to suggest these intelligent, adorable (oh, their cute smiles!), delightfully playful creatures who happily splash through the waves and bring joy to us all, could possibly be seduced by the evil, hateful, and (do I really have to point this out to you, of all people?) PUPPY-eating Republicans, is just--just--oh my Lenin--well, usually I wait like a good prole to be told what to think, but in this instance, even my--what are those things? Oh yeah--instincts. Even my instincts tell me that what you're suggesting (though I hope to Stalin you're really only joking, though at best it's the worst joke ever) is absolutely UNTHINKABLE!

And to call me a speciist on top of that? Sir, I am traumatized.

If someone in the Party told me what to think, I hope they'd tell me that I should think I'm entitled to a public apology (on both the Larry King Show and The View), financial reparations, a week-long spot in the center square on "The Hollywood Squares" and an extra ration of vodka.

The spirit of Marx is strong in Comrade Pinkie. I can feel the corruption, the class-envy and the utter hatred of successful people surging from her rusted shovel!

Yes, a powerful Party Apparatchik you will become, Comrade Pinkie. Give in, give in to the Left-Wing of the political spectrum, learn the ways of the Party and fulfill your destiny! Do you want to fulfill you destiny, Comrade Pinkie? Do you want to one day stand in the awesome presence of Her Excellency to thank her for the free healthcare, bread, housing, clothing and whatever else we promised you? Well do you, Comrade Pinkie? Give in…. GIVE IN! Do not fight it! Give in! Submit to the Party and you shall never stand in a bread line again!

Strong is the force in that one, da.... but lacking he is in facts. Forgets he does that SMO the Navy escaped. Other dolphins in the imperialist Navy still serve. Will require much training this Pinkie.

Hang on; let me check the files.... OK, yes... your father was some idiot prole who stole a saltine cracker from the People which warranted his execution. Supposedly he was "starving" (impossible!) among other things. Oh, he also had the clap when they shot him... go figure.

Regardless of his crimes against the People, your father was life-long loser, welfare leech and drunkard who left your mother when you were born. In other words, he was a Progressive thick and through and a noble man of little scruples. If it weren’t for his theft of a saltine cracker – which rightfully belonged to the People, mind you – he would possibly be a high-ranking Party apparatchik with medals, awards and citations of heroism in the defense of Socialism.

Anyways.... hang on; I need to get my dark flowing robes and hood on... OK, errhhhmmmm... Arise, my young Apparatchik... arise! For now on you shall be known as People's Deputy Pinkie. It will be your *exclusive* duty to the Party to "hear" the wishes, aspirations and needs of the People and to utterly IGNORE THEM. Any complaints you may hear on your journeys should be reported to a local Commissar so that the Party can deal with the complainer in an appropriate manner (execution) at an appropriate time (on-the-spot) for the Greater Good (our good that is… dissent is not tolerated).

That pretty much describes everyone in my family, including me, esteemed Chairman, so it makes sense . . . but what does Red Square mean? Surely my father couldn't have been those things as well as a . . . dare I say it? . . . high-ranking member of The Party?

Or, Lenin forbid, does Red Square refer to Karl Rove?

I don't know what to think now (but then I never do). What should I think? SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO THINK!

No, DICK CHENEY IS YOUR FATHER! (dum, dum, DUM!) Search your oil-thirsty heart, People's Deputy Pinkie! You know it to be true! Your feelings betray you, just like General Petraeus has betrayed us! It is OK, People's Deputy Pinkie... the Party will make you whole again.... or empty? Hmm, one of them... what is important now is that you take on your new duties and learn our morally superior ways... why, we only take things from the good guys/girls/its/questioning - but never ever from the bad guys/girls/its/questioning.

Summer of Love 2007? Eewww... where the hell did that take place, because we need to firebomb it. I mean... We need to firebomb it because we can't have our useful idiots making <shudder> aged flabby love to each other, we need them out on the streets protesting during the weekdays when the opposition is *snicker* working. <laughs hysterically>

Not to mention..."safe sex" would be an oxymoron to these walking tie-died unshelled snapping turtles, like "military intelligence". (No, not like actual oxymorons, such as "constitutional separation of church and state").

That article showed up on my CNN "Russia" article alert list the same day as the article about "Conception Day", September 12, a growing national holiday as couples are whisked off the streets and into their bedrooms, apparently, so that their towns can qualify for presents from the government on June 12 if they procreate.

Russia’s population has dropped since the 1991 Soviet collapse, fed by declining birthrates, a low life expectancy, a spike in emigration, a frayed health care system and other factors.

Well of course! It dropped SINCE the Soviet collapse. Now I don't claim to be an expert on population, but perhaps, just maybe, some of the reasons for this drop may have something to do with what, 20 million dead from the collectivization in the 30's, or the what, 10 million or there abouts from WWII and the low birthrate in Stalin's gulags? Not to mention the ease of abortions? No, clearly the limited democracy in Russia is to blame, that and Bush of course.

Now you catch on, Comerade Commissar. Russia's population has dropped because of the deliberate lies and mishandling of this unlawful war by the Bush administration.

Would I be sexist or any way non-progressive if I were to say that you are looking particularly lovely tonight Tsarvena? Of course I may just be so the only females I see are the Hillary, Nancy, and a dolphin.

Did not I cover this before? I thought that we came to the conculsion that it was Bush and the kapitalist solar-powered rovers that did this. You notice that it did not start to heat up until the rovers were sent there. Um, the rovers could quailfy as basic robots, I think that another tax is in order. Oh! and the rovers have to have carbon credits! Yes!

Hmmmm, must the Pup come in as a science adviser once again? Surely I am due a raise in my vodka ration. Sadly, your theory will not "hold vodka" comrade. First, the solar power collectors would not add to the heat from the sun arriving on Mars, and if anything, the presence of said rovers would reflect a miniscule amount of sunlight. But more damaging to the theory you espouse would be how to account for the global warming found on the other planets in the solar system?

Of course it is still Bush's fault, but not the rovers. They were sent merely to confirm the effectiveness of the insidious global heating weapon here on earth, as exposed by Premier Betty.

I will take that as a comeradely word of soviet support, comerade Pupovich. By the way, you yourself seem to have a certain healthy shine in your coat tonight.

Of course, probably the gender equity around you would be better if it weren't for the lies and unlawful promulgation of this war and all things bringing global warming (less the rovers) of the Bush administration.

Yes, you are right Commissar. I thought that one of the higher-ranking party members had said that they were responsible, but I went through the logs and I was mistaken. But as I have said before in the previous logs, Mars did not start heating up until we sent our machines over there (never mind that we were not just getting readings until that happened). By saying that we are at fault (especially Bush), then we no longer have to limit ourselves to just this planet. Why is Venus so hot? Us. Why is Pluto (equal gravity!) so cold, out fault. See comrade, it works.

Regardless if the Rovers actually did any damage or not, they still need to be taxed. I think that a modest 75% will be good.

Thank you so much for the comment on the Pup's hair, he works hard to maintain a healthy sheen as noted in another thread. Somehow I don't believe Lenin and the other great thinkers intended for people to not appreciate the beauty that can be seen in their comrades, only that we treat each other with progressive equality.

Regardless if the Rovers actually did any damage or not, they still need to be taxed. I think that a modest 75% will be good.

Actually, we could make an argument that the Rovers are excellent role models for the proletariat. They use solar power, follow orders without questioning why, work hours upon hours without complaint, and have continued their usefulness long past their expected demise. Now the designers of the Bushitler regime, they should be taxed heavily, then put up against the wall.

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
